Chapter 16: The Flaw in the Ointment



"Uncle, aunt!" Lian Muhan walked in, breaking the suffocating silence. Lian Jinyu looked up and saw it was him, so she smiled: "Muhan..."

Dongfang Jin, who came in later, asked An Zhongtao and Lian Jinyu to stand up and greet them hurriedly, but Dongfang Jin helped them up faster than them: "This prince has come to bother you during the festival. I hope the general and his wife will not be too polite, which will only create alienation..."

The two nodded and hurried forward to look for seats and tea. At this moment, An Qingran's cheerful voice rang out at the door: "I'm back. The meal will be served right away. You..."

Before she finished her words, she saw Lian Muhan and Dongfang Jin, so she stopped: How did they get into the room?

These two people are really going to ruin her good things.

She just wanted to create an opportunity for her parents, but didn't want others to disturb her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, are the lanterns in the city beautiful tonight?"

Lian Muhan obviously understood what she meant, but he refused to let her have her way. Instead, he said, "The prince and I were hungry after strolling around all night. We happened to hear that a meal was being served here, so we came here uninvited. I'm really sorry..."

He said sorry, but the expression on his face showed that he had already eaten the meal.

"When did my cousin become so polite..." An Qingran was speechless.

"I thought my cousin didn't welcome us!" Lian Muhan still had a smiling face.

An Qingran knew that her cousin was like this, but she also knew that it would be very unfortunate for anyone to be deceived by his harmless appearance. He was an extremely intelligent man, and he could get along with Dongfang Jin, which was something she had not expected. To be honest, she did not know Dongfang Jin very well. In her previous life, he died at the age of 20. She had very few opportunities to contact him, and when she was twelve years old, she had never seen this prince!

Dongfang Jin was sitting on the sandalwood chair. Although he had a faint smile on his face, An Qingran suddenly realized that this prince was very unusual. He should not be underestimated at all. His eyes seemed gentle, but from time to time they flashed a sharp light, as if reaching straight into people's hearts!

Just by looking at her like that, she felt that he seemed to see through everything, and it was as if he knew that she was reborn. Of course, she knew that this was impossible. She was too worried and too nervous. Today, she really hoped that her parents could reconcile, but the two unexpected people in front of her distracted her.

"Ran'er, why don't you go and pay your respects to the prince?" Lian Jinyu said lovingly.

My daughter has always been a polite and courteous person. What happened today? Was she frightened by her aunt's formation?

An Qingran was about to bow, but Dongfang Jin smiled, with a hint of interest on his handsome face: "Miss An, that's good! Just don't be polite, this prince doesn't care about these empty formalities..."

An Qingran still bowed. She looked up and put on a smile when she faced her parents. "It's great. Our family can finally have a meal together. I wonder what the kitchen will prepare for us..."

Lian Jinyu reached out and took her daughter's hand: "Ran'er, you should take a rest. When did you become such a busy person? It's as if you are the boss of the general's mansion..."

An Qingran also smiled: "I'm just happy, really happy. Is there anything happier than a family being together again?"
